P!nk concert!

Last weekend me and my friends (including my hubbie) went to Stockholm and The Ericsson Globe Arena to see P!nk. It was really awesome and I had the nails to match!

I pulled out all my pink swatchsticks and chose and old polish by Isadora that the recently made available again. This is Power Pink (192) and I wanted something more than just a plain color so I decided to take out my Bundle Monster plates and play. This time my choice fell on a nice spiderweb from the BM13 and I stamped with Gothic Black (191) also by Isadora. On top as my topcoat I put Glistening Snow (168) by Claudia to make my nails sparkle!

For once I must have made something right because this manicure just started chipping yesterday and I had to take it off. That makes a whole week wearing this one!

Hope you enjoyed!

Cloudy days

As I promised, the stamping on yesterdays swatch....

This on is stamped with Depend 223, a silver metallic, and Bundle Monster plate BM312 (the cloud pattern) This time I only did my thumb and ringfinger because my time was running out. It would have been awesome to have this on all 10!

The last photos are taken inside under our chili growlamp... we already have red chilis ready to eat!

Hope you enjoyed!

Week 26 - Neon Mani

I started this one out with thinking I'd just make a plain neon color mani, but changed my mind and did some silver Konad on top!

First off, pink neon... Depend 34 to be exact! Two coats of white underneath and two coats of color.

Then I used Bundle Monster plate B21 and the star pattern for my stamping.... and I LOVE it!

 Hope you enjoyed!

Week 11 - "St. Patrick's Day" Mani

As we don't celebrate the Irish National Day here in Sweden, I had to google it! I had an idea beforehand on this, and my search confirmed it. This is what I came up with....

A base with Isadora Pearly Champagne (75) and green tips in Depend 191. The stamp is from Bundle Monster BM03, also in Depend 191.

I had a hard time with getting the stamps straight this time and tomorrow I have a meeting with a potential new employer so it came off.... Now I'm only wearing the base, which you will see later this week.

Hope you enjoyed!

Week 8 - Corset mani

I never was that good at freehand work so I thought I cheat a bit on this one... I started searching through my image plates and found BM202 from Bundle Monster. It is a great image and it would have worked perfectly, but.... black is the worst color ever to stamp in and as I'm not that experienced in stamping either I ended up with a crocked design! On top of this, it ALWAYS drags when I put top coat on! (despite efforts to not get the brush on to the nail and such) Well, I thought I'd show you anyway....

This came off right after I took the photos.... and I decided to give the classic corset mani a try....
The base is Depend 262, a matte black with shimmer. Then I painted the rest with acrylic paint. I'm not really OK with this either... as you can see in the photo, the pink acrylic cracked a bit when I put the top coat on... both with matte and shiny top coat! The one thing I'm really proud of is that I actually did manage to get the black stripes soo thin and with my non-dominant hand. Well.... I tried at least!

Hope you enjoyed my fail!!

Happy New Year!!!

I'm really happy to be able to share this with you all!

This morning didn't start as well as I wanted.... my computer went on a strike! Lucky for me my hubbie worked his magic computer finger and managed to somehow get it up and running again, THANX!

Sooo, I now present to you the mani I made yesterday and that I'm wearing tonight. I used Isadroa Black Galaxy as a base, took Depend 223 (Silver metallic) and stamped the three snowflakes I could find on my BM (BM14) and Konad (m59) plates. The positioning is random. For ones it went smooth and I'm quite pleased! The original post on Black Galaxy is here....

The last clip is for you to see how Black Galaxy glitters in the sun! This is hard to capture just with normal inside lighting (despite daylight bulbs) and I was lucky enough that the sun payed a visit today!

Hope you enjoyed!

Helloween!

For all of you who do celebrate All Hallow's Eve I decided to do a mani.... The bases are Depend 223 (silver) and 124 (orange). I used BM 13 for the web and spider and BM 222 for the pumpkin. I stamped the Jack O'Lanterns with the orange polish and the web with the silver polish. The spider is in Konad Special Polish.


The stamping went pretty well this time, only one nail had to be redone so I'm happy.

Hope you enjoyed!

Starstruck

Since I really love blue I grabbed hold of one of my favorite shades, Elecric Blues from Kicks. This one is gorgeous on its own, but I wanted something more and found myself with some extra time on my hands....

I used Isadora Blue Jeans for stamping with Bundle Monster plate 220 and put a blue rhinestone in the center of the biggest star. It's not showing in these photos, but the stamping and rhinestone is a bit hard to see which makes it suttle and gives it dimension.

For all of you who follows my blog: This weekend I'm doing a major update on my collection and tags.... much needed for you to find your favorites.

Hope you enjoyed!

They're here!!!!

They finally came!!

Today I got a really nice surprise in the afternoon..... Linda came over with my two new Bundle Monster Image Plate sets!!

Set #1 to the left and the orher stack is set #2

Closeups will come as soon as I can start using them!!! I think I'll take one at a time.... any suggestions??

Hope you enjoyed!

Storage idea

I've been pondering about a good way to store my Konad Imageplates.... looking at other bloggers ideas and also on YouTube. This pondering has been going on for, well, a couple of weeks and now I think I found it.... thanx to OUGT12 that made a video about this....

Here is my version.... I went to our local book/craftsstore and got a icehockey/soccercard holder, put a piece of shelfliner inside the pouch so that the imageplate would not slip and slide as much. Now I only need to wait for the two Bundle Monster Image Plate Sets I ordered together with Linda and I also need to get a binder to put them in.

Hope you enjoyed!
